Women's Tennis Headline

Senior
Lauren Embree (Marco Island, Fla.) remained the top-ranked singles
player in the country and the University of Florida women’s tennis team jumped
one spot to No. 4 in the latest national women’s team rankings administered by
the Intercollegiate Tennis Association (ITA) released today.

This
is the second consecutive rankings period Embree has sat atop the national
chart by the ITA, which provides singles and doubles rankings biweekly. Embree
sports a 105-14 career singles record, including a 13-1 ledger this season, with
a 106-20 all-time doubles record. Her 211 combined singles and doubles wins are
tied for the 11th most in program history. She can crack the top-10 with two
wins this weekend when the Gators (9-2, 2-1 SEC) play host to No. 12 Georgia on
Friday at Linder Stadium at Ring Tennis, where first-serve is scheduled for 5
p.m. and admission is free.
